We have a mutual friend, and my boyfriend is constantly commenting on their stories. They joke around sometimes, but he almost reacts to every post. It’s starting to feel like he doesn’t show me that much interest sometimes. Am I overreacting, or do I need to set a boundary?
There seems to be something strange. If they're not approaching their own stories like this, it's suspicious that they're so interested. A similar situation happened with a friend of mine, and it turned out to be a crush. Of course, not everyone will be like that, but watch out 😬
Have you ever asked your girlfriend about this? I mean, why are you commenting so much on that girl? Maybe it's something completely innocent, but you deserve an explanation.
@zeynpsrn Yeah, I asked, but he said, "we're just friends, are you overthinking it?" It felt like he brushed me off a bit. I didn't want to push it too much, so we wouldn't be on bad terms.
I don't agree. There are people who talk like that to everyone; they're extremely active on social media. Maybe it's just their general style, you shouldn't take it personally.
Commenting on stories may seem like a minor behavior in the dynamics of social media, but it can significantly alter perceptions among people. You can draw clear boundaries regarding this with your partner. If they say it's just "friendship", specify the particular point that bothers you. If they continue to do so, you may need to revisit the topic of boundaries in your relationship.
I think the one asking is right. He even says he forgot to comment on his own stories, but he's always hanging out with the other girl. It's like hypocrisy 😂
Look, I'm gonna say something, I don't think it's a situation that needs to be blown out of proportion. People are already acting crazy on social media. Responding to stories in real-time doesn't mean flirting. Maybe the girl's posts are just eye-catching.
@mehmetkardes Do you think it's normal for him to comment on every story, even if it's noteworthy? I think there's clearly some discomfort here. We shouldn't underestimate the feelings of the one asking.
